Scientists boldly go where no man has gone before
Two human brains have been connected via the internet in an experiment which researchers compared to a Vulcan ''mind meld'' from Star Trek.
From his laboratory at the University of Washington, Rajesh Rao said he was able to control the hand movements of a colleague on the other side of campus using his thoughts. A cap filled with electrodes picked up signals from Professor Rao's brain and transmitted them via the internet to a magnetic coil on Andrea Stocco's head.
As Professor Rao thought about tapping the space bar on his keyboard the coil stimulated Dr Stocco's left motor cortex, which governs hand movement, and prompted him to carry out the action. Studies have linked mouse brains, and amputees use similar technology to move robotic limbs, but the experiment is thought to be the first connection between people.
Dr Stocco said: ''The internet was a way to connect computers, and now it can be a way to connect brains. We want to take the knowledge of a brain and transmit it brain to brain.''
The team jokingly compared it to ''mind melding'' in Star Trek in which Mr Spock shares thoughts with others – although the Vulcan uses only his bare hands.
But they said the technology could allow a stroke victim to communicate with a carer, or could help avert disasters by allowing a pilot to land an aeroplane remotely.
The research was criticised, however, as a ''publicity stunt'' put online without peer review. A spokesman said ''time was of the essence'' in a race with other researchers.
Tiny brains weighted with big expectations
Miniature brains have been created in test tubes by stem cell scientists who claim they could help combat inherited neurological disorders.
Several of the hollow structures, which measure up to four millimetres across, were created as a model to help scientists learn what causes neurological disabilities.
Although researchers had previously grown slithers of brain tissue using stem cells, the new study was the first to create more complex 3D ''organoids'' which resemble the brain of a nine-week-old embryo.
Each one mimicked the layered structure of a developing brain, comprising defined regions such as a cerebral cortex and a forebrain.
They could not develop into a fully functioning brain, due in part to blood supply problems, but researchers – whose work was published in Nature – said the structures could be used to study how the brain develops and reveal the genetic causes of brain disorders and to study the effects of new drugs instead of using animals for testing.
The models were produced by putting the stem cells in a gel which allowed them to develop naturally then transferring them to a spinning bioreactor which encouraged them to grow.

Featured Designer, LeNae Gerig ~
Being one of the newest members of HOTP, I've soon learned a lot about all the wonderful people that I work with. LeNae Gerig, one of our fabulous designers has been apart of HOTP, since 1994. So I thought it would be great to get to know LeNae just a little bit more….
Cristina: Tell us a little history about yourself:
LeNae: A few years after graduating from Western Oregon State University with a BS Degree in History I was newly married, working in a local bakery and wondering what to do next. That's when, in 1994, Hot Off The Press came into my life. I took a job as a Technical Editor, proofreading designer submissions and testing instructions by recreating their designs and photographing them step by step for our craft instruction books. This job became a wonderful training ground for learning the basics of design.
Cristina: Tell us about the changes that you've seen over the years with HOTP:
LeNae: The company has gone though many changes in those years. For years we were a publisher that relied almost exclusively on instructional craft books. We published books on a variety of subjects: Floral arrangements, polymer clay, jewelry making, stamping and embellishing paper mache just to name a few. It was a wonderful training ground for me and soon I became an in-house designer, creating books of my own. When the scrapbooking craze became popular,
HOTP became a manufacturer of scrapbooking papers. My roll changed from a general craft designer to a scrapbook page designer. Eventually, Paper Wishes, HOTP's retail catalog, was created to better reach our customers and card making and paper crafts became a part of my life.
Cristina: This may be a hard one, but tell us about your Favorite products & tools and of course why:
LeNae: The Paper Wishes catalog enables me to work with many wonderful tools created by manufacturers from all over the world. Because I get to play with these items all day long, I have developed a few favorites. Recently I have become enamored with the Silhouette Cameo™ electronic cutting tool. I can use it for so many things. Last month I made party favor bags for my daughter's birthday party. Another favorite tool is the Tonic Border System and punches. My most used punch is the Scallop Edger punch, for sure. I'm so excited that we now manufacturer double sided paper!
The Kaleidoscope Paper Pack is so versatile. I love using it with the new Playful Pinwheels Template. Another great product, that I just can't live with out is the Chocolate Dipped Artful Card Kit. Just punch out the pieces and in minutes you have a wonderful layered look for your card. I love the color combination of red, green, blue and brown! Check these products out. I'm sure you will enjoy using them as much as I do!
A few of LeNae's Projects:
Thanks so much LeNae for sharing with us, and keep up the great work and inspiration you provide for all of us!
This week in our message board, we will be doing a Designer's Challenge. Please click on the link to get all the information. Thanks again for taking the time to read our little blog! We love hearing from you…let me know what you think or if you have any ideas that you'd love to share 🙂 ~ Cristina

Remember that the Kidneys are the root of both Yin and Yang, even though in and of themselves the Kidneys are considered Yin. Michael Tierra says that Kidney Yang is the "pilot light for our energy system". When deficient, the warming ability of the Kidneys decreases and can manifest in one or more of the following patterns:
- Cold, sore, weak low back
- Copius clear or pale urine, incontinence, nighttime urination, weak or dripping urine stream
- Coldness, cold limbs, avoiding cold and wanting warm
- Weak legs, leg edema
- Poor appetite, loose stools
- Sexual dysfunction, infertility, premature ejaculation, nocturnal emission
- Chronic vaginal discharge, leukorrhea, spermatorrhea
As you can see, some of these Kidney Yang deficiency patterns overlap with other Kidney deficiency patterns, although the bolded symptoms are the most tell-tale of Kidney Yang. We should also keep in mind that a person may very well have Kidney Yang deficiency and another pattern of excess, and maybe more deficiency patterns, as our bodymind is connected on so many levels. For example, the Kidneys receive from the Spleen and give to the Heart and Pericardium, so if the Spleen is out of balance that may be the underlying reason for Kidney deficiency. It is also a good practice to add a bit of yin tonic (like lycii) to balance a yang tonic.
A few Yang tonics:
Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) is a warm, bitter and aromatic seed has a multitude of culinary and medicinal applications. As a Yang tonic, it is used for coldness, sore lower back, pain in the torso and extremities, morning sickness and indigestion. Make into a gruel with milk or tea to nourish the body and stimulate the appetite during or after debilitating diseases and sicknesses, including infant diarrhea. Lesley Tierra suggests sprouting and eating the seeds to aid digestion.
- Fenugreek gruel: 1 1/2 tablespoon fenugreek ground coarsly simmered low in 1 cup milk or water, for a 5 minuets or until it thickens. Add herbs to flavor or thicken, cinnamon, fennel, slippery elm, marshmallow, ect. Turn off heat, let sit to cool, covered. Three times daily.
Damiana's (Turnera aphrodisiacea) spicy leaves combined with cinnamon, dried ginger and lemon peel are one of my favorite ways to warm up and tonify yang in the winter. The herbalist/acupuncturist at the Medicine Tree in St. Croix Falls formulated this "Libido Lifter/Kidney Tonic", one of the most popular tea blends. Damiana is attuned to the Kidneys as it is a well-known aphrodisiac (just check the botanical name) that also treats impotence. The Tierras use it for irritable coughs, which I have yet to try, but I don't doubt its soothing expectorant abilities, as I have felt how calming damiana can be to the nerves.
Blend and drink as needed. I like it strong; 2 tablespoons to a pint of boiling water, steeped an hour.
- 2 parts Damiana
- 1/2 part each cinnamon, ginger, lemon peel ground coarsely
- 1 part Spearmint
Ashwaganda (Withania somnifera) tastes bitter, with an underlying sweetness and a slight warming to the body. Its has yang tonic, aphrodisiac, sedative, astringent and adaptogenic properties. Some yang tonic can be too stimulating (think deer antler, yohimbe), but ashwaganda apparently does not overstimulate and in fact is used for improving sleep and clearing the mind when stressed or overworked. I have witnessed a complete turn around for a friend with lower back pain, creaky knees, low libido and a general state of low energy by mixing a teaspoon of the powder in heated raw milk daily. Personally, I have used ashwaganda tincture in adrenal formulas, which I always seems to need in spring. Perhaps I should be taking some right now for to tonify my Kidney Yang so to prevent adrenal exhaustion.
- Delicious dosage to nourish yang: Mix 1/2 teaspoon powder with warm milk (can be rice, almond, soy, or ghee), take twice a day.
Other notable herbs:
Teasel Root (Dipsacus sylvestris)
Saw Palmetto (Sabal serrulata)
Celery Seeds (Apium graveolens)
False Unicorn Root (Chamaelirium luteum)

While I do feel lonely at times, I have to say that we single people have a better deal.
We're lucky because we can do what we want to without having to check in with anybody else. I don't have to complain to friends about relationship issues, the mess I'm in and how i prefer work or the nearest pub to being at 'his' place. While I like the idea of just having me in my life, a dame such as I have to tolerate the outrageous questions from neighbors and aunts (basically old women) about when I plan to give up the fun life and settle down. Now why would I possibly want to do that?
So, here are the questions I'm asked most of the time and the answers I'm going to give:
When's the big day?
A: Oh! Soon… I'll let you know when I sign the deal to front my own rock band.
No, seriously. When are you planning to get hitched?
A: Long time from now. But when I do, I'll invite you….err…maybe your kids.
Have you at least found The One?
A: Yeah. But he's currently married.
Don't you ever feel lonely?
A: Of course I do. No one else does?
For me, the benefits of being single are more than the disadvantages. No remote control issues or me being on the laptop or reading or watching TV for endless hours or using up all the hot water. So, for now I'm just going to stick by my point that I am better off solo.
Today, I had the pleasure of viewing a performance of John Mayer on YouTube. Keeping aside the healthy amount of news he gives to the paparazzi he is one of the reasons why music, at this time, doesn't blow big time. His music is extremely notable. It hits you where it's supposed to and the guitars- leave you absolutely breathless. He's one of those artists who can come out with as many albums as he wants to and still remain outrageously famous for each one of them. He produces some great quality music and leaves no doubt in any mind that he's fucking brilliant!
The track below is Mayer's rendition of a very famous song- I love the way he sings it. It sounds rich and gorgeous. The song has a feeling, if I may be so vague. You'll have to hear it.
If you are in search of good music then do a little unearthing further than what's been played on these wretched radio stations and give a listen to something that entices and gratifies you.

Negotiating the Modern, Reworking the Past
The Political Meanings of Domestic Objects in West Germany (1945-1965)
After 1945, continually improving provision with material goods became the raison d'être of the social and political post-war order establishing itself in Western Europe. In this context, the material and aesthetic furnishing of the private domestic sphere was coupled with a legitimation and symbolic representation of the political framework. This formed part of the broad cultural phenomenon encompassing an emphatic renewal of modern society after the Second World War. These two aspects – the symbolic coupling of domestic furnishings with the political order; the linking of this couple with a powerful discourse about a new beginning – serve as a starting point for the project.
The core idea consists in making a systematic connection between the cultural ability of material things as consumer objects to contribute to the establishment of identities, on the one hand, and their ability to maintain or embody memories and/or traditions, on the other. I propose to discard completely the common dichotomy between 'modern' and 'traditional', and instead to question how the past was perceived and processed in that which was explicitly 'new', as well as to question how change was perceived and processed in that which was obviously 'old'. The guiding premise is that the complex coexistence of these two elements became an essential component in the 'cultural rebuilding' which took place during the postwar period.
The early Federal Republic of Germany seems to be a particularly striking example of a cultural practice common throughout Europe. This practice consisted in employing material everyday culture very particularly as a medium of memory and of identity establishment, enabling people to revisit aspects of the past very flexibly, to reject them, reinterpret them, renew them, recreate them or replace them – whether they be aspects of the Nazi era, the Weimar Republic or the German Empire. Domestic objects were used after 1945 not only to renegotiate modernity, but at the same time to rework the periods prior to this new 'modernity': negotiating the modern also meant reworking the past.

Don't Touch That Tool
Tool measurement is critical to the metalcutting process. Exact knowledge of a cutter's length, diameter, even profile, and the ability to measure and monitor these dimensions over time, can reduce variability and help optimize the process. Here's a look at how non-contact tool measurement and breakage detection benefit your metalcutting process.
The cutting tool represents the end effect of a long chain of process parameters. The CAD file represents the design of the workpiece. The CAM file prescribes tool path. All the accuracy and speed designed and built into the machine tool, as well as the stability of the workholding system, must come together to make the first chip.
But none of the preceding will produce satisfactory results if the actual cutting tool is longer, shorter or a different diameter than programmed. Moreover, dimensions that were "dead-on" using a static measurement gage can be affected by dynamics created when the cutter goes in motion.
Featured Content
An answer seems to be to measure the cutter as it rotates in the spindle, within the cutting zone, as often as wear characteristics warrant. A system manufactured by Blum LMT, Inc. (Fort Mitchell, Kentucky) accomplishes this using a laser to measure cutter length, diameter and flank wear and to detect missing or broken tools.
Laser Is Key
Lasers offer two distinct advantages for tool measurement. The beam is basically a "one size fits all" gage, and it's a non-contact system of measurement that is virtually impervious to contamination.
The hardware for Blum's laser measurement system is relatively simple and unobtrusive. Designed to operate in the harsh environment of a machine tool's cutting zone, the U-shaped scanner that holds the laser unit is the only visible component.
When the laser beam is actuated, it passes from one side of the "U" to a pick-up on the other leg. Since it is designed to operate inside the work area of a metalcutting machine tool, a pneumatically actuated shutter and blow-off protect the optics from contamination.
In operation, the laser acts like a high precision photoelectric beam that is activated when broken. It's essentially a high precision version of the photoelectric beam used on garage doors. When the beam is broken, the door stops or reverses.
Likewise, when a cutter interrupts the scanner beam, an output signal is sent to the machine's CNC or PLC. Resident software compares the coordinates of the point of beam contact with known values in the control's tool data tables. Activation occurs when the cutter shades 70 percent of the laser beam.
The scanner can be mounted directly in the cutting zone, on the worktable or elsewhere. Orientation is not a problem, and where space is limited the scanner can be mounted vertically or at an angle.
A diode laser generates the beam used to measure cutting tools. The laser beam is a visible red light with a wavelength of 670 nanometers. Power output is less than one Watt. As a class 2 laser, its power is less than that of a laser pointer. It does not require a warning label or operator eye protection.
The scanning unit is connected by umbilical to the machine tool CNC, or it can operate off a PLC. Successful interfaces for most popular CNC units have been developed. Programming macros have been developed by Blum to run most tool checking routines with a G or M code command.
Why In-Process, Dynamic?
Most tool setting is done off-line in a tool setting gage. Dimensions are verified and tagged correct. The cutter is loaded in the machine, and its dimensional data is read into the control by a bar code or entered manually.
The first cutter is brought into proximity of the workpiece, and a gage block establishes the workpiece tool offset. This system works well but is built on a series of static measurements.
What isn't known in traditional tool setting is how the toolholder, drawbar and spindle are all going to align from tool to tool. Perfect repeatability between a cutting tool and spindle is rarely achievable.
That's why in process, dynamic measurement of each tool as it rotates in the spindle, within the workzone, is gaining acceptance in many shops. An example of this is General Tool Company (Cincinnati, Ohio). It is a premier job shop serving aerospace, and power generation industries, and a builder of special machines.
Like many shops across the country, General Tool feels the shortage of skilled metalworking personnel. It is looking to get more work through the shop with its existing workforce.
General Tool sees a tool monitoring and measurement system like Blum's as helpful to its drive to better productivity using more untended and lightly tended operations. "In setup reduction, for example," says company industrial engineer Greg Kramer, "this laser system is faster at getting the cutter engaged in a job than traditional gage blocks and touch-off cycles."
The company has the laser system on its newest five-axis machining center, a Deckel Maho 200P. It's a big, versatile machine tool with a standard #50 taper, 8,000 rpm spindle that can also run a motorized 42,000 rpm HSK 32 spindle that's automatically exchangeable.
"We see this machine doing a variety of workpieces using both high speed and conventional machining techniques," says Mr. Kramer. "Some of our more challenging and dimensionally critical jobs will go across the machine. With traditional static tool setting, there is quite a bit of handling of the cutters. The laser scanner helps us get more consistent readings from operator to operator because it's automatic."
Highly accurate, repeatable measuring is vital for the precision jobs that General Tool tackles. But what can a laser tool measurement gage actually do for the shop?
What Can It Do?
Use of the laser as a measuring device provides a flexible tool for determining cutter dimensions. It can measure concentric tools, such as drills, or non-concentric tools, such as end mills and face mills. It can measure single cutting edge radii as found on ball nose end mills and periodically re-check them for wear.
The laser scanner can accommodate very small diameters. Cutters with a diameter down to 0.012 inch (0.3 mm) can be measured with accuracy within a few microns.
Larger tools too can be accurately measured without any changeover of hardware or software. Basically one scanner fits all cutters.
Before the laser can be used to measure, it must be calibrated. This process is necessary to determine the precise trigger point position for the laser light beam and must be established for each axis.
Calibrating the laser scanner is a relatively simple procedure. A cylindrical reference-pin with two known diameters and a known radius is used for the procedure (Figure 1, right). The known dimensions of length, height and radius are entered into the calibration table in the machine control.
Passing the spindle-mounted reference-pin through the beam establishes the measurements in space. Deviations from the known measurement are established as axis offsets. With these values in the tool table, any cutter can be accurately measured.
For example, center-cutting tools such as drills are quickly measured for length with two passes through the beam in the Z axis. First, at rapid traverse with the spindle at operational rotation, the drill breaks the beam.
This triggers an axis retract which is followed by a second Z-axis fine feed to a point where the cutter tip breaks the beam. This establishes the actual length of the cutter in the spindle. It all takes a few seconds.
The measurement result is written under the tool number into the tool-offset table in the CNC. The measurement routine is an automatic macro built into the measurement software.
Cutting tools such as end mills, face mills, milling cutters and others, with unknown length and diameters, can be measured at spindle speed using the laser scanning gage (Figure 2, left). Tool length is measured first by moving the cutter periphery into the laser beam with a Z-axis move. Next, the diameter is calculated by moving one side of the cutter through the beam.
Because the tool is rotating and the laser is triggered by the first cutting edge that breaks the beam, any misalignment of inserts or high edges can be identified. With this data, routines in the software can calculate spindle runout where each cutting edge is monitored for being within a programmed runout tolerance. Measuring accuracy of ±1 micron can be achieved using these routines and is accomplished within a few seconds.
When measuring cutter diameter, the laser scanner simply detects the first edge to break the beam. With the cutter rotating, this is the maximum or longest cutting edge.
In order to monitor radial runout, which can be caused by errors in tool clamping and flight circle deviations, or to monitor the radial tolerance between the maximum and minimum cutting edges, the cutter runs into the beam to a depth equal to the tolerance. Once in the beam, the cutter is moved through the beam taking what is in effect a scanning stroke. If the beam remains broken during this routine, the tool is in radial runout tolerance.
Cutters with rounded edges or forms such as ball nose end mills or taper tools can be measured with a laser scanner (Figure 3, right). This is accomplished by establishing the largest permissible outside cutter edge, the cutting edge outline and the starting and aiming point of the contour. These are established using parameters in the measurement software.
Tool breakage is an important asset of a tool measurement and monitoring system. The fine measurement resolution of the laser makes it possible to determine the condition of individual cutting edges. Wear, chipping or fracture of each cutting tooth can be determined quickly and checked as often as necessary.
Check Machine Tools, Too
All machine tools have temperature drift to some extent. Part of the machine tool designer's job is to understand and anticipate this fact when putting together the components, which comprise the machine.
In most machining operations, the dimensional effects of thermal growth are gradual and, over time, predictable. The laser system for measuring tools can be used as a thermal sensing gage for the machine tool.
To accomplish this, a shop uses the laser calibration tool to check each machine axis for growth. The tool has known dimensions in X, Y and Z axes. Comparing laser measurements taken over time can help a shop detect axis drift and compensate for it.
It For You?
For applications where dynamic, in-process monitoring of the cutter is a benefit—high speed applications, unattended or lightly tended operations are examples—a non-contact laser measurement unit can help productivity and quality. Delicate tool coatings that could be influenced by contact gauging and processes where consistency of measurement among individuals are a few of the variables that can be addressed using a laser measurement system such as Blum's.

Premiere 27 february 2010.
Opera. At the centre of attention stands the celebrated courtesan Thaïs, who can feel that her stardom is beginning to fade. The monk Athanaël is obsessed with trying to convert her to the Christian faith.
Opera in three acts by Jules Massenet (1842-1912).
"Breath-taking." DN
"Like a tale from a Thousand and One Nights." Expr/GT
"Soprano Malin Byström is magnificent." GP
"A performance that wipes the floor with any competition, even on the international arena." DN
"A dazzlingly beautiful Thaïs – both visually and musically." DN
"The performance is like a dream." GP
"A must-see performance!" SR, Radio Sjuhärad
"Both visually sharp and vibrant." GP
Watch a clip from the performance.
For a long time Thaïs was one of the most popular operas, but from the middle of the 20th century it slowly sank into oblivion. During the past few years this work has had a revival and many major opera houses have once again included it in their repertoire. In fact, it is hard to imagine an opera that is more in line with the times with its hunger for luxury, striving for beauty and longing for eternal youth on the one hand and, its religious asceticism and fanaticism on the other hand.
At the centre of attention stands the celebrated courtesan Thaïs in Alexandria who can feel that her stardom is beginning to fade. The monk Athanaël becomes obsessed with trying to convert her to the Christian faith. He succeeds in this, and Thaïs leaves her sinful life to take refuge in a nunnery. In the meantime, however, Athanaël realises that it is in fact Thaïs' body he desires. Each of them embark on an inner journey of their own, but never meet in any depth in this opera that the French composer Jule Massenet has spiced with his most exquisite music.

The direction team with Nicola Raab, a debutante on the Swedish stage, at the helm, have chosen to focus on the time at which the work was written, with its diva cult à la Sarah Bernhardt and its oriental fad as important components. Yet another reason why this opera has so seldom been performed has been the difficulty of finding an interpreter of the title role, which demands something extraordinary. The fact that we have Malin Byström may be reason enough to put on a production of Thaïs. Thomas Lander as the fanatical monk has a far-reaching part and the versatile conductor Jan Latham-Koenig brings forth the sensual tones from the orchestra.
Watch a interview with the scenographer and costume designer Johan Engels.
Malin Byström, soprano.
Malin Byström received her training at Stockholm University College of Opera. In 2000 she sang Fiorella in Il Turco in Italia at the opera house in Lübeck, and for the next two seasons she was affiliated with the opera in Nuremberg where her roles included Musetta in La Bohème, Gretel in Hansel und Gretel, Gilda in Rigoletto, Annina in Eine Nacht in Venedig, Hermione in Boesman's Wintermärchen and Pamina in The Magic Flute.
As of 2002 Malin Byström is a freelancer and has performed at the festival in Bregenz (Musetta), at the Royal Opera House Covent Garden (Amalia in I Masnadieri), in Mannheim (Musetta), in Montpellier (the leading role in Hindemith's Sancta Susanna), in Los Angeles (cover for Donna Anna in Don Giovanni with Kent Nagano) and at Opera North in Leeds (the leading role in Massenet's Manon and Fiordiligi in Così fan tutte).
In the spring of 2006 she sang Così fan tutte together with William Christie in Lyon and Don Giovanni in Amsterdam. The 2006/2007 season included Don Giovanni both at concerts in Örebro, Sweden, with the Swedish Chamber Orchestra and Lawrence Renes, and performances with René Jacobs in Baden-Baden, Hanna Glawari in The Merry Widow in Montpellier and Kullervo with the French National Orchestra in Paris.
Some of her most recent commissions have been The Countess in Figaro's Wedding at the Beaunes Barock Music Festival, La Scala debut with the soprano part of Beethoven's 9th with Kurt Masur, and Agathe in Der Freischütz in Bregenz. Works that Malin Byström has sung as a concert singer include Strauss´ Vier letzte Lieder, Mozart's Requiem, Brahms' Ein deutsches Requiem, Carmina Burana, Des Knaben Wunderhorn and Messias.
At the Göteborg Opera she has sung Margareta in Faust 2007 and participated in the Summer Concert of 2009.

Directly after his studies he was engaged at a number of foreign stages, including the Staatsoper in Hamburg, the Volksoper in Vienna, Niedersächsische Staatsoper in Hanover, the festival in Aix-en-Provence and the opera houses of Lyon, Karlsruhe, Munich and Bremen.
Today he is a freelancing opera and concert singer with Sweden as his home base. In Sweden he has performed on stages such as Folkoperan, Malmö Opera, the Göteborg Opera, Drottningholms Slottsteater, NorrlandsOperan, the Läckö Castle Opera and Opera på Skäret.
His repertoire includes the Count in Figaro's Wedding, Papageno and the Speaker in The Magic Flute, the title role in Don Giovanni, Guglielm o and Don Alfonso in Così fan tutte, Malatesta in Don Pasquale, Belcore in L'Elisir d'Amore, Silvio in Pajazzo, Czar Peter in Zar und Zimmermann, Scarpia in Tosca, Mercutio in Romeo and Juliette and the title role in The Flying Dutchman.

At the Göteborg Opera he has performed Ford in Falstaff and Ping in Turandot.
Thomas Lander also has a comprehensive romance and concert repertoire and has done a number of radio, TV and CD recordings.
French Sensualism and the Diva Cult.
Several currents of ideas just before the turn of the century in Paris merge together in Massenet's Thaïs's from 1894. At this time the diva cult had reached its peak and star actresses like Sarah Bernhardt and Eleonora Duse celebrated triumphs on tour all over the world. At times they were subjected to an idol worship that was almost ruthless. There were stars similar to these within the world of opera, and sopranos such as Adelina Patti and Nellie Melba performed for astronomical salaries. It is said that Adelina Patti toured with her own railway carriage, completely fitted-out with furniture and equipment for her personal comfort. In a sense one could say that the courtesan Thaïs from Alexandria in the 4th century is an image of just such a diva and the role was written for just such a very special singer – Sybil Sanderson. Massenet virtually picked her off the street when he discovered that she had an astonishing vocal range as well as personal beauty and charm beyond compare. As Thaïs, she also performed far more scantily and provocatively clad than was the custom on an opera stage. After a few years at the absolute top she ran herself down and ended up in destitution and drug abuse.
The French woman's roles were always very sensual and coquette, always balancing delicately on the verge of indecency. Soon, a few authors would take this a step further and present these diva roles as veritable vamps and projections of male sexual anxiety. It began already with Oscar Wilde's Salome, written for Sarah Bernhardt and later set to music by Richard Strauss. When Salome, uninhibited in her desire for John the Baptist's decapitated head, speaks of her lust and hunger to kiss the dead man's lips, we enter a new phase that was to continue with several of Strindberg's more or less monstrous female roles.
Something else that was typical for the French romantic opera was the mixture of religious and erotic tonal languages. several operas had theme that were readily amenable to this treatment; it began already with Gounod's Faust where in the church scene Marguerite prays to God for forgiveness for her escapades to the accompaniment of sensual tones from the orchestra. In Massenet's Manon the rather loose heroine is suddenly captured by the religious atmosphere in a monastery and prays that God will show her the way to Des Grieux' heart. And in Thaïs, Massenet then took it one step further, when he had the lionized sex idol and courtesan converted and end her days as a nun. In Thaïs he succeeds in finding the perfect balance in tone between ingratiating sensualism on the one hand and the ascetic dogmatism of the leading male character Athanaël on the other. The work became a perfect example of how to mix religion and eroticism, but was also subjected to a great deal of criticism for the same reason.
After continuing intermittently thoughout the 19th century, the passion for the oriental, the exotic and the foreign finally reached its peak. This fascination for a foreign country and exotic culture, for the mystical and the remote could also be quite titillating. In Thaïs, Massenet exploits the fact that the story takes place in Alexandria, and continually colours the sound with oriental tones – albeit only on the surface. When Thaïs, in the midst of all the fumes of incense, invokes Venus, the gracefully mystical tones capture the situation perfectly. And when Athanaël and Thaïs abandon her house in the lonesome night Massenet imitates the oriental instruments with drums and chimes. Few works are so distinctly a product of their time as Massenet's Thaïs.

Boston PD solicits video footage of finish line, while Massachusetts governor asks for those who may have seen something to call and share their tips.
Before 3 p.m. ET on Monday, April 15, two explosions at the Boston Marathon killed three people and injured 176 others, and turned the race into what ABC News said resembled "a war zone."
The explosions occurred almost simultaneously near the race's finish line on Boylston Street, which was crowded with runners and spectators, according to ABC. Thousands of runners were still completing the race at the time of the first explosion.
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and some city agencies took to social media to inform citizens of the incident. The Boston Police Department, for instance, said via Twitter that it's looking for video footage from the race's finish line, and is sharing other relevant information.
BostonPolice looking for video of the finish line #tweetfromthebeat via @cherylfiandaca— Boston Police Dept. (@Boston_Police) April 15, 2013
Area around crime scene will be closed for the foreseeable future #tweetfromthebeat via @cherylfiandaca— Boston Police Dept. (@Boston_Police) April 15, 2013
In addition to sharing information, such as the tweets embedded below, Patrick asked those who saw anything suspicious to call 1-800-494-TIPS or the Mayor's Hotline: 617-635-4500.
I have been in touch with the President, Mayor Menino and our public safety leaders. Our focus is on making sure that the area around— Deval Patrick (@MassGovernor) April 15, 2013
Copley Square is safe and secured. I am asking everyone to stay away from Copley Square and let the first responders do their jobs."— Deval Patrick (@MassGovernor) April 15, 2013
Though #bostonmarathon began as a way to communicate about the race, it is now a hashtag that links to updates about the attack.
This is genuinely heartbreaking. :'( #prayforboston #bostonmarathon twitter.com/1TD/status/323…— Tom Davies (@1TD) April 15, 2013
In addition, Google set up a person finder specifically for the Boston Marathon explosions, where anyone who has information related to a found person can enter that information, or anyone looking for a missing person can conduct a search.
At 6:10 p.m. ET, President Obama addressed the nation. "We do not know who did this, or why," he said. "But make no mistake. We will get to the bottom of this."

text: With a stalwart sense of humor, Beth Malone in this TED talk approaches the difficult topic of coping with a loved ones care with the onset of dementia and her perception change of both life and death from the experience. Malone, a bold public space artist and social entrepreneur, discusses her decade's long journey with her father's dementia—an early onset form of the disease called frontotemporal lobe dementia (FTD), which usually begins its onset in a person's 50s or 60s. Malone begins her journey with us by discussing her initial shock over the completely change of her father's personality and his sporadic episodes of violence and paranoia through the more recent realization that she and her sister could no longer continue to care for their father in his own home. She then takes us with her as she searches for appropriate placement for her father moving him from facility to facility until she finally finds him a place in specialized memory care community that can appropriately care for her father and his needs. Finally, Malone leads us through her moment of realization that her father has changed and is no longer quite the exact man he had previously been; however, in this moment, she finds a spark of hope through an unexpected interaction with her father in his new, "pretty nice hacienda".

Researchers in North Texas are working on a blood test for Alzheimer's disease and looking at how the disease affects the Latino population.
Alzheimer's disease, the sixth leading cause of death in the United States, is difficult to diagnose, but the research in Fort Worth on the new blood test shows promise.
"We're going to let multiple things in the blood tells us whether someone has Alzheimer's disease, and, as a result, we have a blood test that yields 90 percent accuracy," said Dr. Sid O'Bryant, a researcher at the University of North Texas Health Science Center.
The latest news from around North Texas.
O'Bryant said it will take several years to refine the test and get government approval. Once it is ready, the test could help primary care physicians who are often see first the signs of the disease in patients, he said.
"My goal is to get it into the hands of local primary docs first," he said. "Can we get it to local docs so they can say, 'Now I need to get them to specialty clinics to make sure we get the right diagnosis and the right treatments?'"
O'Bryant, who leads the Texas Alzheimer's Research & Care Consortium, a group of scientists working to bring cures and innovative treatments to those with age-related diseases, said Alzheimer's disease is a huge public health issue.
The 2012 Journal of the Alzheimer's Association reports that 5.4 million Americans have the disease.
Millions more will develop it. Whites make up the great majority, but blacks and Latinos have a higher risk of developing it.
"It's (Latinos) the largest ethnic group in the Unites States, and there's almost no literature, and it's a major problem," O'Bryant said. "I looked at it and said, 'We can do something about this.' There's plenty of reasoning to suggest the disease may impact Hispanics differently."
"Diabetes is one of the risk factors for Alzheimer's, and we know the prevalence of diabetes in the Hispanic population is huge," said Liz Trevino, UNTHSC School of Public Health assistant professor.
She said she believes some Latino patients don't get help early enough because of cultural barriers and a lack of awareness.
"Many of our Hispanics don't go there," Trevino said. "They keep it from their families. They won't say, 'My mother or someone lost their memory.'"
Sarah Canales, of Fort Worth, said "it was like they hit me in the gut" when she learned four years ago that her mother, Juanita Renteria, had Alzheimer's disease.
"I cried just thinking about it," she said. "It's emotional. She's always been my rock. She's been there for me, and now it's my turn to be there for her. I'm going to do my best to keep her here as long as I can."
Renteria, 83, agreed to move in her with daughter and her son-in-law, and she gave up driving.
"There was a lot of traffic," she said. "And for the first time in my life, I was scared, so I said, 'It's time for me to stop driving.'"
"We're lucky hers is a slow progression," Canales said.
Canales said she feels fortunate that she and her mother can talk about the disease, learn about it together and get support. Both attend free group sessions offered by the Alzheimer's Association - North Central Texas Chapter.
The are walking with thousands of others Saturday in Fort Worth in the annual Walk to End Alzheimer's. It the 20th year for the fundraiser in Fort Worth.
Canales said she hopes sharing the story about her mother's journey will encourage more people to get out and walk, too.
"In the Hispanic community, I feel like we don't reach out to get help or find out what is out there," she said.

Thompson Square Bring Technology to Honduras School
Husband and wife duo Thompson Square aren't just focused on their thriving career; they're also passionate about helping others. Recently, the couple took time off from their tour with Luke Bryan to help a needy Honduran community.
Keifer and Shawna Thompson are ambassadors for ChildFund International, a nonprofit agency that provides food and education to children, and they take their commitment seriously. While visiting Lepaterique, Honduras last winter, a boy handed Shawna a note. It wasn't a fan note. It was a cry for help, asking for her assistance to get his school computers.
That was all they needed to hear -- the Thompsons made it happen, gifting the school with new computers. This summer, the 'Everything I Shouldn't Be Thinking About' hitmakers visited the computer lab named in their honor: 'Aula Teconologica Keifer & Shawna.'
"The people of Lepaterique are kind and generous and hard workers," [Keifer] Thompson explains to People. "We've been so fortunate in our career and in our lives. Everyone needs a little help every now and then."
It's heartening to see the compassion that T2 shows, even amidst a huge amount of success as the reining ACM and CMA Vocal Duo of the Year, and their genuine kindness is another lovable trademark of the fan-favorite band.
Thompson Square is finally back out on the road for Bryan's Dirt Road Diaries Tour after a big struggle with a serious vocal hemorrhage for Keifer.

From Susan Householder
To the Editor:
This time of year most of us feel stretched and stressed-not enough time or money to go around. To make things easier this year, I would like to suggest a "perfect" gift for you to give-it costs little to give, just a little bit of your time.
You'll likely not know the person who will receive this gift, but trust me those who receive this gift are truly in need.
What is this gift? It's the perfect gift of a blood donation through the American Red Cross. By giving this gift you will help save lives.
I know how much this gift can mean because I was the recipient of such a gift in November 2007. I gave birth to my son on Black Friday through an unplanned Caesarean section. Afterwards, for unknown reasons, they could not stop the bleeding. I was unable to leave recovery until I received my first blood transfusion. Our first photos together show me receiving the second transfusion. In the end, I needed a total of four units of red blood cells.
The persons who gave their gift surely gave me more than they could probably imagine. They gave me the chance to hold my son, share in his first Christmas, as well as recover and continue on in my life.
Please, take the time to donate blood this holiday season.
Not sure if you can donate? Visit redcrossblood.org for additional information. Make an appointment today on the web or call 1-800-RED CROSS.
Thank you,
Susan Householder
Warfordsburg, Pa.

Seattle marine engine dealer agrees to pay penalty, change engines in federal clean air case
Release Date: 12/05/2013
Contact Information: Mark MacIntyre, EPA Public Affairs, 206-553-7302, firstname.lastname@example.com; John Keenan, EPA Air Enforcement, 206-553-1817, email@example.com
(Seattle – December 5, 2013) Rabaul Diesel Inc., of Seattle, Washington (also known as RDI Marine) has agreed to pay penalties and replace or modify six marine diesel engines that violated federal clean air rules. The engines were installed on six commercial fishing vessels destined for use in Alaska's Bristol Bay.
According to settlement details, the six diesel engines were certified for recreational, not commercial use. Title II of the federal Clean Air Act requires that only engines that are certified for commercial operation be installed in new commercial vessels. The different requirements for recreational and commercial marine diesel engines reflect how much air pollution the engines may produce when used as designated over the course of their lifetime.
RDI Marine has agreed to replace the engines with compliant engines or modify the engines to make them identical in all respects to compliant commercial engines. As part of the settlement, RDI Marine also agreed to pay a $39,000 civil penalty.

Guta was born to a Jewish family in the Polish city of Lodz, the nation's second-largest city and the center of its textile industry. Her father, a successful businessman, owned a clothing factory, which produced uniforms for the Polish army. Guta attended a private Jewish school in Lodz.
1933-39: On September 1, 1939, not long after I began secondary school, the Germans invaded Poland. Polish soldiers moved quickly through Lodz to defend the border, but a few days later, after being beaten, they came streaming back through the city. We made sandwiches for them as they retreated toward the USSR. When the Germans entered Lodz on September 8, 1939, my family fled to the nearby town of Wierzbnik-Starachowice.
Europe 1933, Poland and Lodz indicated
See maps
1940-45: The Germans set up a ghetto in Wierzbnik. I worked in labor camps until 1944, when I was deported to Majowka. Before we entered the camp, a Ukrainian guard stood us before two long pits. "You have one minute to say your prayers. Then you'll be shot." I jumped on his back, trying to strangle him, but we separated when we fell to the ground. Enraged, the Ukrainian shot me. His bullet only grazed my skull. I bled profusely so I feigned death. The guards beat me to make sure. Only a Soviet bombing raid saved me.
After the raid, Guta crawled under a barracks. She was deported to the Auschwitz and Ravensbrueck camps before being released to the Swedish Red Cross in April 1945.

Ich bin Deutscher (and no, you don't have to chant now "Ich bin ein Berliner" and point out that JFK said he was a jelly-filled doughnut), live in Cologne, I am 38 years old, and work as a Senior Art Director in an Internet Advertising Agency which is from where I post most often. I am happily married and don't have kids. My wife, of course, is the most beautiful woman in the world, and I look like this. Besides posting here I have several strange hobbies, the strangest may be Civil War Reenactment, which is a very strange thing to do in Germany (but if the US Americans have Renaissance Fairs, why not?).
We gather here in these Forums to discuss Tolkien and our shared love for the worlds of his imagination, nonetheless. So, if you jump here, it is above average probability you have come in touch with either Tolkien's work or something derived from it, like a movie, another movie, yet another movie, an audio play, a comic, a customizable card game, a computer or tabletop game, (fine) art, (role) play, (collecting) figures, furniture, weapons, jewellery, people with Tolkien names or people bothering you talking about Tolkien stuff. Welcome. You'll find everything here. Specially, you'll find interesting people who share your interests, ranging from youngest fans to wise erudite scholars to talk with.
These fabulous people also share the desire to get treated and talked to with respect and tolerance just the way you like it yourself. These Forums are age-old, and some of the people around have been age-old members when Tom Bombadil was still a kid, so you can imagine almost everything has been discussed here, therefore you better start a search before starting a new thread. You better watch and lurk for a while anyway, no matter how much your fingers are itching to jump in – just to get accustomed to the way how people are talking here.
But then, jump in. There's no use in standing at the side of the water when everybody's having fun inside. Let's hear your voice, and let's share the joy we get from sharing the Tolkien universe. And let me help you if I can.

If you've read Ars' review of the iPhone 3G, you know our opinion on its usefulness as a replacement for the ubiquitous Blackberry family from RIM. (Hint: not quite there yet.) That doesn't mean the two communication/Internet handhelds aren't going up against each other for market and mind share.
Determining exactly what impact the new iPhone will have on RIM's chunk of the smartphone market appears to be tricker than you might think, though. At least one market analyst seems to think RIM is doomed, and dropped his rating on the stock yesterday to "underperform" citing the iPhone 3G as his reason. According to Charlie Wolf of Needham & Co., the main force behind RIM's recent success in the market has been lack of competition rather than innovation, and he seems to think it's all over now that the iPhone 3G is (sort of) available.
Not so fast, says Peter Misek of Cannaccord Adams. Yesterday, Misek announced he was not only maintaining his "buy" rating on RIM, but raising his revenue and earnings estimates for their next fiscal quarter (which ends in August). Misek predicts shipments from RIM will improve from 6.1 million units to 6.25 million versus Apple's one million sales this past weekend, and notes that activations are up 20 to 30 percent over the last six weeks.
So who's right? Well, if recent surveys are any indication, the smart money is on the iPhone 3G. However, until Apple addresses the iPhone's limitations when it comes to the Blackberry's signature service, enterprise e-mail support, the most likely result is that both devices will simply continue to stomp the everliving bejesus out of Palm. You can expect this issue to be revisited again later in the year, once the iPhone has been available minus the 3 to 4 hour wait in line.

The following article by Mike Gold is from Fight Back! News:
Milwaukee, WI – On Oct. 23-24, around 100 student activists from across the country converged here for the fifth Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) National Convention.
From Diablo Valley and Los Angeles, California, Dallas, Texas, Gainesville, Florida and College Park, Maryland, SDS chapters came together to share their experiences organizing locally and to discuss the two major campaigns – education rights and anti-war – that SDS has been leading nationally and to talk about the next steps for the student movement in the U.S.

Washington, D.C. -- The Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) applauds Chairman James Oberstar (D-MN), of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, for bringing the Horse Transportation Safety Act (H.R. 305) before his Committee and supporting its swift unanimous passage.
"We are especially grateful for the leadership and commitment of the bill's sponsors Congressman Mark Kirk (R-IL) and Congressman Steven Cohen (D-TN). Both have been incredible champions for the welfare of America's horses," noted Christine Sequenzia, AWI federal policy advisor.
Several bipartisan cosponsors spoke in support of H.R. 305 during the hearing, including a poignant opening statement by Congressman Cohen. H.R. 305 passed by a voice vote with no amendments and is now headed to the House floor.
This crucial bill will ban the hauling of horses on double deck livestock trailers. Double deck trailers were designed to accommodate livestock, such as cattle, swine and other shorter necked species. According to USDA, horses can stand 8 feet tall and up to 12 feet when rearing. Consequently, the American Veterinary Medical Association's literature review recommends that horses have a minimum of 7-8 feet of clearance. Double deck trailers, on the other hand, can have ceilings as low as 4 feet 7 inches. Currently, these trailers are being used to haul horses in overcrowded conditions - and, in most cases, to slaughter.
These unaccommodating conditions are not only dangerous for the horses, but to drivers, as well. Several catastrophic accidents involving double deck trailers have occurred in recent years. In 2006, a double deck truck hauling 41 horses in Missouri crashed and resulted in the death of 16 horses. In 2008, a double deck trailer carrying 59 horses in Illinois struck another vehicle after blowing through a stop sign. It took five hours to rescue the horses from this mangled truck; 9 horses died at the scene, and an additional 6 died later due to injuries sustained in the crash.
Today's vote was critical to the safety of horses being transported, safety of drivers on our roadways, and safety of first responders who generally are not trained in equine medical attention. The USDA stated, "We do not believe that equines can be safely and humanely transported on a conveyance that has an animal cargo space divided into two or more stacked levels."
"Thanks to horse champions such as Chairman Oberstar and Congressmen Kirk and Cohen, we are one step closer to more humane methods of transport for equines and safer roadways for drivers," said Sequenzia.

"Let Me In" Wunder-Director Matt Reeves has signed on to tackle the Frankenstein flick "This Dark Endeavor" based on the book with the same name. The film is just the latest in a long line of Frankenstein based films to be announced which means 2012 could very much be the year of the reanimated dead. Neck bolts are going to be soooo hot, I can just feel it.
The latest name to be added to the cast of "Dexter" season 6 is none other than Edward James Olmos. Colin Hanks and Mos Def have already been signed on and I can only assume that the addition of Olmos means that Dexter will be moving to a rough inner city and Olmos will play a teacher who shows him the powers of math. That's not racist, he did it in "Stand and Deliver".
So many people have been added to the cast of "Hunger Games" that I have officially forgotten what the movie is even about and now that Lenny Kravitz is on board I just want to punch it right in the face. I'm kidding, it's about two areas that send children to battle each other. I'm not kidding about the punching in the face though, Lenny Kravitz is a prick.
If you're like me then you spend most of your time as a bachelor paying strange women to break into your home, tie you up and torture you for two hours. Well good news fellow deviants, the movie "Kidnapped" is everything you've dreamt of and more and there's a new trailer out for the film to prove it. Of course I don't believe there's any sort of safe word involved in this, so that could get sketchy.

Untitled, Image, 2013
Louis Doulas: It might actually be interesting to start with your mother. I didn't know she was an artist until you mentioned it the other night. She makes collage work similar to your own (or is it the other way around?)
Aaron Graham: Although there's a huge generational gap between my mother and I, we find ourselves in the same sort of position: how do you access an art world, or an audience? For example, my mom considers herself an artist, and is one, rightfully so, but who does she show her work to? She doesn't really have an art world connection or gallery plug—she's also not necessarily interested in that either. Anyways, I find myself in a similar situation. It's funny, I graduated from school, and am looking for the next step, but when I look towards the art world and all the galleries, I can't seem to muster up the interest in playing that game, and I think much of my attitude, or position, stems from my political involvements with Cooper. What was really significant for me was the Cooper lock-in we did in December, which was my first real experience with direct action. That lock-in lasted a week and it was one of the best weeks ever. I think that once you taste these things, it's hard to go back to anything else.

Talk:List of parishes in New South Wales
For lack of a better place to ask: I would have assumed that Met. Kyrill of Smolensk would qualify as being an exarch (in a similar way to Met Nicolae of Banat for the Romanians)...? — Pιsτévο, at 02:27, May 28, 2006 (CDT)
- Exarch is a title specifically given, rather than simply a functional role. —Dcn. Andrew talk random contribs 04:50, May 28, 2006 (CDT)
- These parishes answer directly to the Holy Synod of the Moscow Patriarchate through Met Kyrill. Decisions concerning these parishes are made by the Holy Synod and recorded in the Holy Synod minutes, accessible on Moscow's Sedmitsa website. The Metropolitan of Belarus, for instance, is an Exarch in name and function. But Met Kyrill is neither an Exarch in name nor function. He does not make the decisions concerning these parishes. The Patriarchate does.
- chrisg :)~ 2006-05-28-2334 EAST
How come those Newcastle parishes got deleted? chrisg :)~ 2006-05-28-2337 EAST
- In the comment, I noted a strict MCB in directories. Because of the nature of both this encyclopedia, and the people for whom it is going to be most productive, it does not benefit to place caveats and such all over the article. — Pιsτévο, at 16:12, May 28, 2006 (CDT); later edited at 16:56, May 28, 2006 (CDT).
The Romanian priest Rev Fr Dimitru Coman in Melbourne is a presbyter who is the vicar in Australia of the Patriarch of Romania. He is not a bishop. This latest alteration by Wsk is incorrect. Chrisg 18:11, March 17, 2007 (PDT)
Sorting by jurisdiction is exactly what I wanted to avoid when creating these articles. There is no purpose to it whatsoever. Parish listings are available on the internet, and even on other parts of OW. The purpose to sorting by postcode is so that people can go to a parish that is close to them, not so that they can first figure out what a jurisdiction is. Moreover, each listing - Australia and America - is based on geographic area, not on jurisdiction. — edited by Pιsτévο talk complaints at 14:27, March 28, 2007 (PDT)
- Agreed. Sorting by jurisdiction is not the way to go.Paterakis 16:47, March 28, 2007 (PDT)
- Yep. I've reverted the recent resorting. —Fr. Andrew talk contribs 19:19, March 28, 2007 (PDT)
- Where then in Sydney are these suburbs starting with 1xxx? Chrisg 19:32, March 28, 2007 (PDT)

Some of these fake, Photoshopped Instagrams of dead rock stars—created by Brazilian designer Butcher Billy—are really good. My favorite are these two, Cash and Mercury, but there are more.
I'd like to think that Elvis, Cash, Mercury, Ramone, Cobain and all those glorious dead rock stars wouldn't participate in the internet promotional circus that is Twitter, Instagram or Facebook... But then, they all paraded through the equivalent media of the day, from Carson to MTV, so—why not? Heck, even the Rolling Stones have Instagram and Facebook accounts nowadays—although they probably don't give a damn about it except because it helps them to get business.
Whatever. I wouldn't give a damn as long as they were still alive. [Thaeger—Thanks to Lupanar de Omar!]
Vicious, Nancy and Cobain.
Ramones and Elvis.

It is very important that your doctor check the progress of you or your child at regular visits. This will allow your doctor to see if the medicine is working properly and to decide if you or your child should continue to take it.
You should not take this medicine if you or your child have used other triptan or ergot-type migraine medicines within the past 24 hours. Some examples of triptan medicines are almotriptan (Axert™), eletriptan (Relpax®), frovatriptan (Frova®), naratriptan (Amerge®), sumatriptan (Imitrex®, Treximet®), and zolmitriptan (Zomig®). Some examples of ergot-type medicines are dihydroergotamine (D.H.E. 45®, Migranal®), ergotamine (Bellergal®, Cafergot®, Ergomar®, or Wigraine®), and methysergide (Sansert®). Do not take this medicine within 2 weeks after taking an MAO inhibitor, such as Eldepryl®, Marplan®, Nardil®, or Parnate®.
Check with your doctor if you or your child used this medicine and your migraine did not go away, or if your migraine got worse or started occurring more often.
This medicine may increase your risk of having abnormal heart rhythm, heart attack, angina, or stroke. This is more likely to occur if you or a family member already has heart disease, if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, if you smoke, if you are male and over 40 years of age, or if you are female and have gone through menopause. Call your doctor right away if you have any symptoms of a heart problem, such as chest pain or discomfort; an uneven heartbeat; nausea or vomiting; pain or discomfort in the shoulders, arms, jaw, back, or neck; shortness of breath; or sweating. Call your doctor right away if you have any symptoms of a stroke, such as confusion; difficulty with speaking; double vision; headaches; an inability to move the arms, legs, or facial muscles; an inability to speak; or slow speech.
Check with your doctor right away if you or your child have chest discomfort, jaw or neck tightness after taking this medicine. Also, tell your doctor if you have sudden or severe abdominal or stomach pain or bloody diarrhea after using this medicine.
Check with your doctor right away if you have blurred vision, difficulty with reading, or any other change in vision while you or your child are using this medicine. Your doctor may want you to have your eyes checked by an ophthalmologist (eye doctor).
Using rizatriptan alone or in combination with other migraine medicines for 10 or more days per month may lead to worsening of headache. You may keep a headache diary to record the headache frequency and drug use.
Make sure your doctor knows about all the other medicines you are using. Rizatriptan may cause a serious condition called serotonin syndrome when taken with some medicines. This includes medicines to treat depression, such as citalopram (Celexa®), duloxetine (Cymbalta®), escitalopram (Lexapro®), fluoxetine (Prozac®, Sarafem®, or Symbyax®), fluvoxamine (Luvox®), olanzapine (Zyprexa®), paroxetine (Paxil®), sertraline (Zoloft®), or venlafaxine (Effexor®). Check with your doctor right away if you or your child have agitation; confusion; diarrhea; excitement while talking that is not normal; fever; overactive reflexes; poor coordination; restlessness; shivering; sweating; trembling or shaking that you cannot control; or twitching. These could be symptoms of serotonin syndrome.
Drinking alcoholic beverages can make headaches worse or cause new headaches to occur. People who suffer from severe headaches should probably avoid alcoholic beverages, especially during a headache.
Some people feel dizzy or drowsy during or after a migraine, or after taking rizatriptan to relieve a migraine. As long as you are feeling dizzy or drowsy, do not drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are dizzy or not alert.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.
